The Splatter Studio Bringing Art, Beer, Wine To Downtown Santa Monica

Los Angeles’ first branch of Atlanta’s immersive art experience, The Splatter Studio, is coming soon to 321 Santa Monica Blvd in Downtown Santa Monica, previously home to Dragon Herbs (and long ago home of Hooters).  Billing themselves as “a contemporary action painting studio”, the idea here, as I understand it, is to create art by splattering it Jackson Pollock-style across a canvas (and each other?) as a social event and “stress reliever”.  Why am I covering this since I normally write about restaurants?  Because according to the window paper and website, this location will also carry beer and wine to enhance your artistic and social experience.

Hooters Falls Flat In Santa Monica; Dragon Herbs To Take Over

Normally, that den of skimpily-clad servers Hooters is off my radar.  So while I can’t exactly say when it happened, I only recently noticed that the Hooters that used to inhabit the space at 321 Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica had closed down.  However, their Yelp page promises that they are temporarily closed until November 1st.  But judging by the notices posted in the windows, it looks like that won’t be the case. Health emporium Dragon Herbs will be moving from their current location on Wilshire Blvd and taking over the space in a “few months” according to a spokesperson.
